Here is a glimpseofthe super amazing, sometimesembarrassing, oftenwoefullyoutdatedentertainmentthat I plan to enjoywhilerubbingmyass back to lifeafterit fell asleep. Yes...to wakeitfromsleeping, I'llgowiththatexplanation.

Will & GraceEasy, easy, easilymyfavorite show of all time. Mainlybecauseof Jack and Karen and thehilaritythatthey bring to thetable, butuptightWill and harpy Grace willalways have a specialplaceinmyheart.

I don't find Harry Connick, Jr. unattractivebut I loathehimon a personal level for takingmyfavorite show, the most hilariousawesome show of all time, and makingitstraightupsuck. His characterwasclearlyforced by thewriters, havingnochemistrywith Grace and throwingoffthemood and charmoftheentire show. Usuallythismeans I amforced to spendmyWill & Grace energies onthefirst 4 seasonsbeforeSuckfaceMcSuckertonshowsup, but I will be feastingonseason 7 during mytravels, convenientlywhen Grace & Leoweredivorcedbecause he cheatedon herwhich, eventually, Grace is totallycoolwith.

Whattheeverloving HELL?!?!?! Worst. Character. EVER!

There are preciousfewtopics I am more passionateaboutthanLeo's stupid appearanceruiningWill & Grace. I could be fighting for human rights, or socialjustice, or environmentalprotectionbutnope, I usethe fire thatburnswithinme to bitchabout a shittycharacteron a TV show thatended half a decadeago. Ifyouhadn't guessedalready, this planet is doomed. So let's moveon to thenexttasty morsel ofentertainment.

Sex & the CityI purposelyamusingthis old, grainypictureofthe S&TCgirlsbecause I'm a sucker for nostalgia. I will be watchingseason 4, whichairedin 2001/2002 which - holyshit - was a decadeago.

InthisseasonCarrie is on-again-off-againwithAiden, whom I also have beefwith for creatingtheAiden (and general Hayden/Jayden/Schmlayden) baby namingcrazeoftheearly 00's. Painfullyannoying, yes, but not enough to make meloathethe individual portrayingthecharacter (mayyouburnin hell, Harry Connick, Jr.).

Thattragedy, ofcourse, beingthatsteaming pile of a movietheycameoutwith to wring an extrabuckoutofthefranchise. Kindly note that I amreferring to thefirstmoviehere, not the second. I didn't even bother watchingthesequel to thesequel for fearof permanent brain damage.

Inthedesperately-seeking-profitworldof Sex & the City World Charlotte magicallybecomesfertileafteryearsofinfertility (which I predictedthe second themoviewasannounced, *yawn*) and Mirandagetscheatedon by the bar keepwhoknocked her up. Naturally, shewastotallycoolwiththis.

At the risk ofsounding like a brokenrecord, whattheeverloving HELL?!?!?!

At thatpointmybrainshutofffromwhatwas happening onthescreen, erasedtheprevious 2 hours and thefourgirlswillforever live inmymindastheydid at the end oftheglorious, magnificent, perfect series finale. Shittymovies? Whatshittymovies?

GroundhogDayShould I be embarrassed to admitthat I've never seenthismovie? It's gotquite a cultfollowing and itwasrecentlythesacredholidayofGroundhogsDayso I figured, why not? I'll be stuckin a metal tube for over a daysowhy not catchuponsomeclassicsthat I missed.

I couldwrite a book onthe number ofclassics I have missed, asyouwillsee.

FourWeddings & a Funeral (never seen) wason TV theotherweek, whichgotmethinking, whatinthe hell happened to AndieMacDowell's career? Let this be a lesson, Katherine-Reese-Jennifer-SarahJessica. The second that hot body ofyours slips is the second the casting agents stopknockingonyourdoor. Enjoybeinginsufferableonscreenwhileyoucan, asitwon't last forever.

ArmageddonHow have I never seenArmageddon?! I don't know, especiallywhenthenamepracticallyguaranteesthat I will love it. Iftheworld is ending on film, there is nodoubt I willenjoywatchingitonscreen. Bonus points for hoardsofterrifiedcitizensrunningin a single directiondownthe street.

Ahh, 1998. President Clinton wasgetting a littleonthe side, theEuropeansdevisedthis crazy currencycalledthe €uro and theworldwasintroduced to thegreatesttechnologicaladvancementof all time (bar none), Windows 98. Meanwhile, I wastoobusywallowingin teenage angst to get to a cinema and seethefreakingblockbusteroftheyear. I shallremedythissoon.

And last but not leastwe have:

Air CrashInvestigation

I amtoldthis show is calledMaydayintheUS. Semanticsaside, it is a show aboutum, air crashes. And theirinvestigations. And it is amazing.

"Watching a show about air crasheswhileon an airplane - whythat's insanity!" youmight be saying to yourself. Butyou know what? Becauseofthat show I am 110% unafraid to fly. Every single crash, nay, every single "incident", regardlessofhowminor, receivesYEARSofmindnumbingly intense study and resultsinindustry-widechanges to preventfuture bad thingsfrom happening. Everyincidentimprovesthe safety of air transport so by mycalculations, inanother 50 yearstheentireindustryshould be accidentproof (I saythatinjest, but for reals, it's super safe).

Plus, withmyhardcorestudyingof Air CrashInvestigation-slash-Maydayepisodes I know the best ways to survive a planecrash. Soif I everhappen to godownyoudamnwell better believemyass is going to survive. I bet youcan't saythat.

+1 for me, +1 for survival.

Don't think for one second I wouldn't crawl over yourscorchedcorpse en route to mynearest exit, taking note thatitmay be behindme.

Theaboveprogramming is, I'm sure, a solid 27 hoursworthofentertainmentbut rest assured I have plenty more thanthatloadedup and ready to go. Shoutout to theAirbus A380 for havingelectricityplug-ins at eachseat, whichmakes all thisentertainmentpossible.

I'd like to send an additionalshoutout to booze and pillswhich, when all elsefails, will sedate me for 9,576 miles of travel.
